to go ahead with commissioner moore's suggestion. i think it's becoming a problem in many neighborhoods in the city. so, it might have to be something put on the department's work program. the other comment i have is that since the plans, drawings we have which i assume what we're approving don't show any signs, does that mean we're not going to have any signs? >> cory can answer that. as you know, signs are not discretionary. it's not part of your approval. i will say that with respect to the number and size that you point out, it does require a change in legislation to limit the size and number. and i think you're probably right that we need to start thinking about making some code changes. but in this particular instance, the cory or scott can speak to the specifics of what types and how many signs are allowed. >> i think we've heard this before, so, just raising -- >> yeah, there will be signage. it is not known exactly what it will be at this time. it's be in the plans. >> i'd like to keep this dialogue going. i know commissioner moore has chimed in. not to pile on any more, but i

's, you know, it fits in our guidelines of being a good project. >> commissioner moore. >> this is an extremely difficult site to build on. i regret that the project would be asking for variances partially because it sits so close to the freeway and seems to be very bulky and asking for variances may potentially further promote bulkiness. it isn't a sales force. it isn't the type of break in building vernacular and building expression i had hoped for. but i acknowledge that the site poses challenges which are not easy to resolve. i think there are other people who will continue to work with this outline of 8 points and i will just refrain my comments to saying that i would be watchful for variances on many of the points, possibly [inaudible] prescribed building heights. tower separation, all of which make the project look even more compact in its current setting. i do regret, and i have to say it, that we continue to create a very suburban experience in mission bay. i had hoped that at some point we would be talking about slightly more challenging architectural resoluti

. >> commissioner moore. >> i'd like to take a slightly different tact toward looking at the changes in front of us. i think the commissioners who supported the approval in 2010 still hold to that commitment, except i think it is an overstatement to say that the building has not changed. it has changed and it is some of the areas of change where i am asking for the architect to continue working with the department in order to achieve some of those objectives, which in particular in 2010 were expressed quite strongly by the commission. and that is that one of the rules which encourages taller buildings in downtown to distinguish between the base, the middle and the top. we have lots of definitionses, particularly on the base and the middle of the building. that's become a much flatter facade, expression. and i would suggest that gets reexamined to really deal with the historic street ball and what we use to track as a cornice line. this building doesn't have a cornice line, but establish a distinct banding above the fourth floor. or to remind us of the lower street, one of the historic buildings whi
